Netanyahu: “Iran Can Enrich Uranium From 3.5% To 90% In Weeks”

Speaking to his cabinet meeting today, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu said that “Iran is willing to give up uranium enrichment to 20 percent and therefore discussion of this subject is irrelevant.”

Israel Hayom reports that Netanyahu added that “the importance of the subject has become redundant following technological improvements that allow Iran to enrich uranium from 3.5% to 90% within a few weeks. We have to increase the pressure on Iran because it continues to enrich uranium even while it negotiates.”

Yesterday, Israel had dismissed as “irrelevant” reports that Iran had halted its most sensitive uranium enrichment activity, and said Tehran’s nuclear program must be dismantled.
